Conquering

Jacaranda but it goes too deep in the info, my school used conquering for prelim but changed to contexts for hsc

JACARANDA FOR SURE! it is so so much more detailed. PS I have the jacaranda book for sale if u want it But yes, jacaranda for sure.

I use all 3. None is consistent all the way. Plus, I didn't have to buy them, school provided them or the library will let you borrow/ get cd pdf version

I used all three too. Some had helpful information that the others did not. But I feel like Jacaranda and Contexts sometimes give too much detail.

There's a bit in Conquering Chemistry (Module 3) about how, when naming straight chain haloalkanes with more than one halogen, you have to take into account the electronegativity of the halogens - which is no longer valid (according to the Royal Australian Chemical Institute). Instead, you're meant to take the lowest set of locants.
